nxscope NxScope Library
This library provides real-time data logging functionality for NuttX.
The principle of action is to accumulate data gathered in virtual channels and periodically send buffered data through a dedicated interface packed with a custom protocol.
Supported features:
- up to 255 channels possible
- support for standard data types and user-specific data (
enum nxscope_sample_dtype_e) - support for vector data or point data
- support for character-based channels (text messages)
- support for channel metadata - can be used to enumerate samples or timestamp
- stream buffer overflow detection (
NXSCOPE_STREAM_FLAGS_OVERFLOW) - remote control with commands (
enum nxscope_hdr_id_e) - protocol and interface implementation can be different for control commands and stream data
- (optional) support for user-specific commands (
NXSCOPE_HDRID_USERandstruct nxscope_callbacks_s) - (optional) support for samples divider (
CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_DIVIDER) - (optional) support for ACK frames (
CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_ACKFRAMES) - (optional) support for user-defined types (
CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_USERTYPES) - (optional) support for non-buffered critical channels (
CONFIG_LOGGING_NXSCOPE_CRICHANNELS)
A custom interface and a custom protocol can be implemented with struct nxscope_intf_s and struct nxscope_proto_s structures.
Supported interfaces:
- a serial port:
logging/nxscope/nxscope_iser.c - a dummy interface for debug purposes:
logging/nxscope/nxscope_idummy.c
A default serial protocol is implemented in apps/logging/nxscope/nxscope_pser.c It just packs NxScope data into simple frames with a CRC-16 checksum.
